After I first met my now-husband, he was once a unmarried father to a pre-teen lad.
It was once in the summertime and he was once new to being the only father or mother.
He cooked at the barbeque grill and he made salads.
They if truth be told ate rather well – best had the occasional frozen pizza.
His 2 specialties had been steak and Caesar Salad.
It was once best logical to cook dinner additional steak and toss it into the salad the following evening.
Then I got here alongside.
Horrors! I made pasta salads. I additionally began slicing the steak into strips and stir-frying it. I used to be already doing the mushrooms….
And the remainder, as they are saying, is historical past.

A couple of extra footage from our winery excursion….
That is the again of the chateau.
They made a fantastic courtyard space which is the place our excursion began… with a tumbler in their glowing wine.
From there we went out into the real winery, meandering in the course of the grapes.
Unfortunately, as a result of June was once cool and damp, they, along side the opposite vineyards within the space, misplaced about 70% in their merlot grapes, which is the major purple wine grape within the space. Now we’re having a dry warmth wave, which the grapes like if it’s no longer too lengthy and sizzling.
The white wine grapes, which we had been in, are doing nice!
There have been gardeners running caring for the trails and vegetation.
The valuables was once beautiful, the wines had been excellent, and it’s wonderful to look the quantity of labor and possibility that move into all of it.
